    slow news day?


    anyone with a decent receiver that upconverts everything can get better, even up to 1080p upconversion, but as you can see from the image above upconversion isn't that great. The picture isn't that crisp all around.


    I was gaming on my wii day one at 1080p, but didn't consider it be to "news". unfortunately, I stopped gaming on the wii as soon as I finished mario galaxy (about 1 week before it was released and two days after "getting" it).

    Very cool, given this I'm surprised they didn't just add HD-out right off the bat...it shouldn't have added too much to cost or manufacturing issues...given that it's just an output not extra processing, etc.

    @TheCrudMan: No, it IS extra processing. The Wii renders games at roughly 640x480 (possibly 800x480, but I don't believe so). 720P HD is about 1280x720. That's a LOT more pixels to render, and would substantially decrease the framerate of Wii games.


    The Wii DOES have an HD output (component, which supports 720p/1080i), but the Wii only passes an SD signal over it.

    @32ndnote: GIMP. I found a tutorial online. It's mostly making a multi-layered file, then setting the delay in the name of the layer. That's the tough part, getting the timing right. The bad part is that since photobucket allows you to get stats on your images, I have found people hotlinking my picts, taking my bandwidth, so I have to watermark them all now.

    As I recall from magazine articles from when he was found his schlong was knocked off in the removal process. They didn't realize he was old so the local cops used ice axes to cut him out. Maybe it is still preserved up there on the mountain!

    @Mediocre: I actually guessed the photo was the schlong of a stone age warrior on the Italian border. Checking with the judges, apparently this was not accurate enough to be considered a correct answer.


    Seriously, though - does anyone really want to see his privates? I think I will pass.
